College Transfer Credit Policies

Laurier Brantford provides Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology graduates with an opportunity to add to their occupational and professional education. For admission under transfer credit guidelines, students must achieve a minimum 75% overall average in one of the programs included in the policy. Students who fall under the transfer credit guidelines may apply to any Laurier Brantford honours program (except in some cases the Journalism program) but, depending on the transfer credits they receive, some programs are a better fit than others.
